POPS Provocative Biocultural Bullet Points

* Diseases are disease entities. * If you divide truths in half you get half-truths. * If you divide knowledge, your knowledge is divided. * Pain is always in your head because your brain is. * Nothing human is universal or atemporal. * Embodiment is necessarily biological, and knowledge is always embodied. * A fact is a socially produced conclusion. * Bodies are always cultural and biological. * Selves today are embodied, biologized, shaped by medical knowledge. * The body—whose, what, when, where—is always in question. * The boundary between organic and inorganic is no longer clear. * Technology has become human; humans have become technologies. * Patients and experimental subjects are part of the decision-making process. * Science can be postmodern; postmodernisms can be scientific. * Biology, as a science, cannot exist outside culture; culture, as a practice, cannot exist outside biology."
